Not so much. So here they are for anyone else who would rather make than purchase a block off plate.<\/p>\n<p>A few notes: The original has an elongated hole on the bottom, not sure why, but it&#8217;s easier to just put a regular hole in. The only really important thing is the spacing between the two holes and their size, it doesn&#8217;t matter too much if you just get the outside shape to a rough approximation depending on what tools you may have available. I used a piece of 1\/4&#8243; thick aluminum, but you can use whatever you want as long as it is rigid and flat enough to seal. I added in rough countersink sizes if you want a nice clean look using flathead screws, but it&#8217;s quick and easy to use the existing studs and nuts and skip that step (this is what I have done temporarily until I get around to getting some flatheads.) Also, when deleting the EGR, you can either buy or build a simulator (diagram is below and can be found with some searching, however I have not yet tested it) to prevent ECU codes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1458\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5Legr.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1458\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1458\" title=\"5.0 EGR delete plate\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5Legr-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5Legr-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5Legr-300x300.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/5Legr.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">5.0 EGR delete plate<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1462\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EGR_eliminator.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1462\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1462\" title=\"EGR_eliminator\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/EGR_eliminator-150x150.gif\" alt=\"EGR simulator\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1462\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">EGR simulator<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I decided to make an EGR delete plate for the Mustang&#8217;s 306 build (more on that to follow,) I didn&#8217;t have my EGR valve handy, so I did some searching online for dimensions, figuring it had been done a &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/?p=1456\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1456","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-1989-ford-mustang-convertible","category-tech"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1456"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1456\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1465,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1456\/revisions\/1465"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.fiveocd.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
